I'm on lycamobile now but its edge connectivity is even slower that the others so i will be switching to woolworths which will give me 5GB per month.

I backed up my imei, though, once for all.

Do i have to revert back to GB to change the frequencies?

If i dial *#*#4636#*#* i can see there is an option to change the radio bands but it's grey, is there any change to have access to it? I am on Win 7, anyway and my rom is the stock one from huawei site.

I tried yesterday but after zeroing my imei i had to wipe the data off and that was bothering me a lot. CWM showed up mentioning some error in E:\ and won't boot.

Also, when i was in DFS out of the three icons at the bottom of the window the last one (EQF) was yellow. Any idea?

I think it was something i changed when the imei was zero, if you go to phone information and have a look it says GSM only. Maybe i set it to wcdma and then, when i restarted it, i got the H sign straightaway.

Well, to be honest i don't feel like doing that again, i might screw it up and be back at square one.

What i think i did was zeroing the imei, rebooting, dialling *#*#4636#*#* and selecting "phone information". You should "set preferred network type" set on GSM only. You should turn radio off and change it to WCDMA preferred. Reboot, then restore imei and it should work. Let me know :)

I managed to follow this right through but my IMEI will not restore now. I have copied my backup IMEI (5iRom file) several times but when I check with *#06# i get a number that is not consistant with that of the IMEI thats printed on the side of the box my phone came in.

I am a Vodafone AU user and while I can get a 3G connection at home with my home WIFI connected, it drops out as soon as i leave the house and am only able to use a 2G connection with no data transfer available.

Any idea if i can re write my 5iRom file with my original IMEI or rewrite my phone?

Big thank you for writing up this guide, I thought my phone was doomed. Should definitely be printed in Big Letters at the top of the CM9 and CM10 guides for Australians not to attempt this. It's a shame though, I miss Jelly Bean.

I just got this phone Huawei G300+ (Vodafone AU PrePaid), and noticed that the revision I have is not 8815-51 but 8815-71. I believe this updated "+" version has support for more bands (850/900/2100 I think).

Would I be facing the same issues when upgrading using the method outlined here?

Has anyone tried upgrading (either to an official ICS image or CyanogenMod 10.1) with G300+?

Is there a way to get the GingerBread image/firmware that is installed on my G300+ and save it somewhere while I do all the experimenting with the custom roms? Apparently the Huawei website does not host the one for Australia :(

Toolbox5irom makes the backup of the IMEI using three files: 5.img, 10.img and 11.img. ...
